Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

Social Security alone is not enough to provide for a comfortable retirement, and many employers' retirement plans are inadequate. You need a great retirement savings tool that provides you with either a tax-deferred or tax-free way of saving for your future. While there are many different types of accounts, Traditional and Roth IRAs are the most common choices.

Traditional IRA

A traditional IRA helps you to save for your retirement, and your contributions may be tax-deductible.

  • Individuals under age 70½, with qualifying income, may contribute
  • Early withdrawals are subject to 10% penalty unless disabled or paying for qualified expenses
  • Mandatory distributions at age 70½
  • Interest grows tax-deferred until withdrawn

Roth IRA

A Roth IRA helps you save for your retirement by sheltering your earnings from income tax.

  • Individuals with qualified income may contribute, regardless of age
  • Contributions are non-deductible
  • Early withdrawals of earnings are subject to 10% penalty unless disabled or paying for qualified expenses
  • All withdrawals, including earnings, are tax-free if the account has been open at least 5 years and are used for qualified expenses
  • No scheduled mandatory distributions required
  • No requirement to withdraw at any certain age
